Join us as we discuss strategies to establish or re-invigorate your M365 training program\, maximizing and curating resources that help you focus on the human element of learning and development. \nPresented by: Sean Bugler \nSean is a Cloud Solutions Architect with the Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
